A member asked:
I came off depo-provera on oct. 15. bled on dec. 1st-5th. then it started back up on dec.14. is this pregnancy? or is it just cause of coming off the shot?

Probably from shot: In all likelihood this is due to recent use of Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). Menses can be irregular, or even absent, for up to a year. To avoid pregnancy be sure to use another method of contraception.

Difficult to tell: due to the Depo-Provera you could check a pregnancy test to be sure but if negative it may be a while before you begin to ovulate on a regular basis.
